As for the person that mentioned "mystery packs" being against the rules, they are. Tons of you bought them and no one alerted us to them, so Robert, Pat, and myself never knew they existed. So we couldn't remove them before they got going.

After all the lots he sold like this, and all the publicity this guy got, you didn't catch wind of any of it ??? Damn........ one "warning" of mystery lots and this all MIGHT have been avoided...

First of all, a lot of people know me from here in real life. I became too trusting, I will admit. I talked to the guy daily and never in my wildest dreams would I imagine that it would come to this. I thought I had made a new close friend, which is something I don't usually do. I don't talk to a lot of people in my real world, I talk to more people from Blowout than I do in my own personal day to day life. I made a mistake with trusting this man too much. I admit I was wrong, I have had no part of this though. I just took the man's word at face value, and apparently I was in the wrong for doing so.

Wow, this is a huge mess. They should change name of this site to Haiku's Blowout Card Forum. He has been the topic of this forum for over 6 months now. He held the power of this site for too long and took advantage of it with people's trust and money. Maybe the people that run this forum should get involved to help everyone that lost thier money.

I lost or may lose money and i disagree that any of it is blowouts fault. It is our fault for being so trusting and not following the advice and rules that the site posts (ie..no mystery lots or dont send gift payments). I didn't lose a lot ($222.22) but a loss is a loss.

After all the lots he sold like this, and all the publicity this guy got, you didn't catch wind of any of it ??? Damn........ one "warning" of mystery lots and this all MIGHT have been avoided...

People know mystery lots aren't allowed. They are quick to call out other members when they try to post them, but for some reason let haiku slide. They probably thought they were going to get some crazy deals .

Oh, gee, thanks, Dave. Bang-up job so far. Extortion, coercion. You'll pardon me if I ask you to kiss my bum. The same jerk that rounded us up and sank us into this mess are gonna bail me out? You think you can catch Keyser Soze? You think a guy like that comes this close to getting caught and sticks his head out? If he comes up for anything, it will be to get rid of me. After that... my guess is you'll never hear from him again.

After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone

Everything I wanted to say has already been said in some form or another. However, I will add this:
-People should be more diligent before spending there money from now on.
- I HOPE there can still be trust and friendship on this site. In reasonable doses, though.

Your exactly right. He got his money and he is done. The buyers are OUT. If he emptied his Paypal account its done and over.

yep! i'm glad i was on his blocked list..lol
and this hong kong is just a decoy for when the cops come looking..( if they even do come looking for him at that Illinois address) he'll be long gone, till the heat cools down. then back to business as usuall for him.
